This month the June Hocking Hills calendar page celebrates Father’s Day with a major celebration on Father’s Day weekend – The Washboard Festival. Mark your calendars for June 15-17. Kids rides are usually free and the Washboard Factory is open for free tours.

And if your Dad already loves the Hocking Hills, you can get your kids to color him a picture of Ash Cave, Cedar Falls or Old Man’s Cave State Park. They can then be framed and given to Dad as a gift. These coloring pages are available in the new Hocking Hills inspired adult coloring book, “Get Back to Nature “, Volume 1 available at Amazon.com and BarnesandNobleonline.com.

Also for those Dad’s who would like to read about the Hocking Hills before they visit: “The Best Kept Secrets of the Hocking Hills” is the only guidebook written exclusively about the Hocking Hills with lots of pictures and now with two area maps.
